Pressurized Distilled Spirits and Brewed Beverages Filtration Loop

Abstract

Summary. The Technical Field is Filtration. The Problem is limited filtration consisting of gravity fed existing technology which is inefficient. The Solution is to create a process for small Distillers and Brewers to efficiently carbon filter spirits and brewed beverages to enhance taste, color, clarity and reduce alcohol levels, in finished products. Use enables instant variations in carbon capacity during processing and easy exchange of different carbon media between processes. The process provides affordability and flexibility to small operators based on their unique product, timed and controlled by the operator. This pressurized loop includes testing and tasting stations for measurement and quality control, flow controllers and measurement control, all within a loop system for a complete continuous process which does not exist today. With this Closed system, a mixing tank provides limited product. The Open system draws product directly from the operator's equipment.

1 . The claimed invention is a pressurized filtration loop process refining color, clarity and taste of spirits and brewed beverages, while reducing alcohol levels, in a measured way using continuing cycles, whereby desired quality levels are achieved. 
     
     
         2 . The claimed invention allows for efficient exchange of carbon media during the filtration process whereby desired results are achieved by use of different carbon media types. 
     
     
         3 . The claimed invention allows for immediate in process increase or decrease of filtration capacity whereby desired filtration time can be achieved.
